HE WAS GREATLY MISTAKEN,
A Maryland Chemist Reokoned without
His Host.

His Host.
live in the midst of the malarial dis.
tricts of Maryland, near the city Of
Washington, and am exposed to all the
dangerous influences of the impure air
and water Of that region.
Being naturally Of a strong consti-
tuition, | had frequently boosted that
no chills and fever or other malarious
complaint would ever trouble me.
This was my experience and the con.
dition in which l found myself six
months ago. first noticed that I did
not feel SO sprightly and vigorous as
was my wont to do. / felt tired and
enervated. Soon I noticed a distinct
and distressing back ache would make
its appearance in the afternoon, in.
creasing in severity il the exercise was
more than usually violent. Then a
stretchy feeling with profuse gaping
made its appearance. Then my head,
always clear as a bell, would feel heavy
and began to have headaches.
The cold stage was marked with chat.
tering of the teeth, severe rigors passed
over me, and no amount Of clothing
could keep me warm. The chill was
succeeded in turn by the fever, in which
! seemed to be burning up, the con-
gestion in my head produced a violent
pain in the frontal portion and a heat
ed sensation Of the eyelids, with an in
describable aching Of the lower limbs.
Nausea and vomiting occurred with
sever retchings, and when the parox-
ysms passed off | was thoroughly pros
trated by a weakness that vas felt in
every part Of me,
drtgged myself with quinine, and
obtained some relief. But my respite
was Of brief duration. | was now so
much reduced that could hardly walk
or stand upright. My disease soon
eliminated IN a continued malarial fe-
yer which, kept me closely confined for
about a week. became exceedingly
depressed and melancholy, so much so
that lost interest in my work, and,
indeed, scarcely cared what happened
to me.
During all this time, it must be I'M
derstood that | did not neglect medical
treatment, All the m st powerful
remedies were tried, suca As liquid ar
senate Of potash, valeriante of iron,
mercury, bromide Of potassium, chic
ride Of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchoni-
dia, quinine and several others. All
this l did under the advice Of eminent
physicians.
1t was while l was in this deplorable
condition that the claims made for
Kaskine, the new q%uinine, as a specific
for malaria, were first brought to nv
attention. / knew nothing Of its value
to justify my having any confidence in
it, but as everything else had failed |
deemed it my duty to try it, SO l began
its use, and its prompt and radical ef-
fects we're of the nature of revelation
to me. Many people may think the
statement scarcely credible, but it is a
fact that after only a few days use Of
Kaskine all the leading symptoms in
my case were decidedly abated OF
ceased altogether; and in a few weeks
from the time / took the first dose !
, was cured.
:. This was about the first Of January,
, and since then l have experienced nc
recurrence Of the malarial symptom:
) in any form. A remedy Of such ex
ceptional virtue for the cure Of malaris
ought to be commended and univer
: sally made known. have therefors
: urged it upon the attention Of my
) friends, several Of whom have used il
=, with like good results in every case
;, and it is with the greatest pleasure
, and sincerity that / commend Kaskin'
J to sufferers from malaria everywhere.
